Pokemon Iron: Invasion From Afar! OOC/Sign-up

For Centuries humans have feared the pokemon that haunt the lonely roads and dark forests of the various kingdoms. Tales were whispered in taverns of unstoppable beasts that could destroy even armored warriors. Fear spread even more rapidly when human cultists, using dark rites managed to command these creatures. They planned to use their dark allies to make the world their own.

Fortunately their were brave heroes in the world. In the end they not only stopped the cultists plans but forged a bond with some of the pokemon. Now there are those humans, rare though they are, that have a mystical connection with the pokemon. They can form a link with a single pokemon, a friendship that allows them to command the powers of these terrific beasts. It usually happens at puberty, sometimes sooner sometimes later, but for those few, the pokemon comes to them, and they instinctively understand one another.

Now in the realm of Raltia, the king has sent out word that he is seeking these brave and fated folk. He has seen the need for their power to protect the kingdom. He has also offered very large rewards, should they agree to work for the betterment of Raltia.

You are one such Fated One. Or you will be if you play. Sign up is pretty standard for RPs like this, but I'll also have a short series of questions and you don't have much control over the Pokemon that appears to you. Don't worry I'll try not to screw anyone over by saddling them with a Bidoof.

his entire life he was raised on a farm, commanding owned pokemon ina forcable manner for years, he was raised by very oppressive parents who would enslave pokemon from birth, and use them to harvest crops. one night, the pokemon snuck into the home and did away with the boy's parents. he was spared because he was an innocent, but he lived on his own in society after selling the farm. he's held vengeance towards many pokemon since his parents were murdered by them. he saw the offer for reward money and he needs it for survival after being left alone for so long, and he believes his vengence towards pokemon is enough to protect the kingdom.

Pants: Great.... around your 20th birthday a Cubone wandered into your sights. Despite your initial hostility toward the creature you knew instinctively that it was Fated to be with you. In the three years since then you've learned to live with the thing. It seems to think a lot like you, it always tries the most obvious solution to any problem it encurs and it can easily be provoked to anger. You can't help but wonder about the skull it wears, perhaps it suffered some tragedy that caused it to lose it's parents as well. Nevertheless, you've come to learn that this creature is unswaveringly loyal to you and could be a great asset both in your quest to make money as well as your more personal quest for vengeance.

Midnight - On the Eve of the old Clockmaker's death, a Pawniard reported for duty. It showed up on the doorstep, gave you a smart salute and awaited it's orders. You could feel the Fated connection with it and now it serves as your friend and second in command. Maybe with this tiny legionnaire you can go out into the world, serve the King of Raltia and make your family proud.

History: Gil lived a peaceful life not far from the city. His family adept at co-existing with the Pokemon that lived around, and also in dealing with the Pokemon who weren't interested in a humans presence. Having been taught to defend and take care of himself from a young age Gil quickly found the lessons tedious. Preferring to sit around lazily and go with the flow of things rather then follow plans or schedules he would often sneak away from home and into the forest. When he was 15 on one such trip he ran into a Houndour, one such Pokemon who hated the sight of a human. He managed to survive the attack and escape, but had acquired a scar on his left forearm for his troubles giving him a slightly uneasy feeling whenever he's around Pokemon.
